Prescription Xenical: 120 mg three times daily (360 mg/day), taken with or up to 1 hour after each main fat-containing meal. Over-the-counter Alli: 60 mg three times daily (180 mg/day). Skip the dose if a meal is missed or contains no fat. Used alongside a reduced-calorie diet in which fat supplies roughly 30% of energy — a higher-fat meal makes the gastrointestinal side effects markedly worse, not the weight loss better.
